Day for sweethearts tends to make us reevaluate relationships

Valentine’s Day is personally one of my favorite holidays. However, like all holidays, it can magnify troubles one is experiencing, particularly being single or in an unsteady relationship. In high school relationships it forces teens to question whether this relationship is as important to both people.

I can recall from real life and television shows people, particularly girls, becoming upset because one doesn’t seem to care it’s Valentine’s Day and then infers that the person does not care about their relationship. What started out as a way for chocolate and candy companies to make more money turned into a time for reevaluating a relationship. The older I get the less I seem to like Valentine’s Day — I guess Valentine’s Day will never live up to the schoolgirl fantasy.
